Over the last 3 years, we have made some unforgettable memories making Warrior Wishes come true in Indianapolis.
My dad arrived in Indy around 2:30am and got some sleep in the bus station before planning the day & hanging out with the ESPN crew at the Starbucks by the stadium. Today we are honoring the Legacy of Marine Sgt Bradley Atwell & hosting surviving family members at the Colts game in his honor.

Atwell was an aircraft electrical/instrument and flight control technician with Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 16, Marine Aircraft Group 16, 3D Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), was killed in action while repealing an enemy attack on Camp Bastion Sept. 14, 2012.
It was an honor to host surviving family members at the Colts game in SGT Atwell’s honor. We would like to thank Harry & Izzy’s for hosting everyone for Dinner before the game and New Era for providing Colts caps for everyone.
This was the 5th game of our 32 game mission to honor military warriors at all 32 NFL stadiums in 1 season for our 4th season in a row. My dad will be back on the bus after the game and back in Chicago first thing in the morning. He will have a few days off before we drive up to Minnesota this Sunday and then make our way over to Green Bay for the Monday night game.
